Olympic Lifting Class for Beginners


  • Mecka Fitness Washington Road Pittsburgh, PA, 15228 United States (map)

About the class.

  • Small group sessions: engage in four 90 minute sessions spread over a one month block that will focus on teaching the fundamentals of the snatch and clean and jerk

  • Customized mobility work: Classes begin with mobility exercises to address deficits at the spine, hips, and ankles to promote better body mechanics and enhance the lifting experience

  • Learn the basics: gain confidence in how to properly execute both movements using just a PVC and progressing to an empty barbell

Who’s this for?

  • Mecka members interested in Olympic lifts

  • No experience necessary: whether you’ve done conventional weight lifting or never touched a barbell, this class is designed to build a solid foundation from scratch

What’s next?

  • Pending completion of these classes, individuals may use this as a stepping stone to transition from Mecka classes to CrossFit without the need for an individualized one-on-one session
